In KDE, go to:

systemsettings -> startup and shutdown -> session management -> on login -> 
applications to be excluded from sessions

Type "skype" (without quotes) in the appropriate field. It should be excluded 
next time you login.

Btw, this has absolutely nothing to do with /etc/rc.d/. The rc.d scripts are 
for system services that should be started up on boot, and work independently 
of any users on the system. OTOH, the KDE session is a per-user thing, when 
KDE reactivates all apps that you were running at the moment of last logout. 
This "session restoring" happens only after you are logged in, and has nothing 
whatsoever to do with the system boot.

HTH, :-)
